Rust枚舉

enum關鍵字允許創建標簽聯合， 它可以被用作代數數據類型 (ADT)。

// Allow Cons and Nil to be referred to without namespacing
use List::{Cons, Nil};

// A linked list node, which can take on any of these two variants
enum List {
    // Cons: Tuple struct that wraps an element and a pointer to the next node
    Cons(u32, Box),
    // Nil: A node that signifies the end of the linked list
    Nil,

        Nil

        Cons(elem, Box::new(self))
    }

    // Return the length of the list
    fn len(&self) -> u32 {
        // `self` has to be matched, because the behavior of this method
        // depends on the variant of `self`
        // `self` has type `&List`, and `*self` has type `List`, matching on a
        // concrete type `T` is preferred over a match on a reference `&T`
        match *self {
            // Can't take ownership of the tail, because `self` is borrowed;
            // instead take a reference to the tail
            Cons(_, ref tail) => 1 + tail.len(),
            // Base Case: An empty list has zero length
            Nil => 0
